Hi Everyone.. yes another newbie. Break out the bubbly. Turn on the tunes. Oh.. and try not to fall asleep, before the intro is finished, k? Thanks!
I'm new to lucid dreaming, but definately not to frequent, vivid dreams. I remember my dreams 99% of the time and they are very, very detailed and vivid. I can often remember buttons on shirts, how many on the shirt, how many holes each button had (2 or 4 mostly), what color they were, if one was loose or not. A number of times I started writing my dreams down so I wouldnt forget them, but I am not doing that as regularly as I should. I remember my dreams in sequence. I remember anywhere from 2 to 4 dreams per night, depending on the length of them or if they run together or are completely different in subject matter. I rarely have nightmares, but do have dreams that are very emotional at times and I am crying in my dream and wake in a full emotional weeping marathon!
I had my first lucid dream on April 14th and was completely thrilled when it was done. I was amazed at the 'rush' of empowerment I felt during it and upon 'waking'. I felt like I 'bounced' from dreamstate, to waking and then back to dreaming just before I realized I was dreaming again.. only this time I knew it. (Sorry, I am sure you all hear this story everyday, but its exciting to me, cuz its new~) I was in awe at my surroundings, which just warped from one thing to another as I thought of it. The first thing I decided to do with my new 'powers' in dreamstate? Fly? No. Swim? No. Do something amazing and incredible? Nope. I drew a fish. Yeah, I know.. lol, dorky. I drew a fish with a white piece of chalk and after drawing it I wanted it to be a different color, so it became blue and purple. It was big, like 3 or 4 feet wide and high.. then I tapped it to push it and it moved.. it started to swim in the sky. I remember being so happy about it, completely astonished that I MADE that happen. The dream progressed as I decided I wanted "answers" to some questions I am having in my waking life. I was asking around about some events in my life, asking for someone I knew to come forward and talk with me. Random friends came into my mind, and of course then appeared in my dream, but all of them referred me to someone named "Jason". Odd, because I don't know anyone by that name. I have one co-worker named Jason, but that is it and I asked if they meant him and I was told 'no'. So I stopped asking and decided to just walk and look around, thinking I would do or think of something that would encourage my own answers to my questions, but the name "Jason" kept coming up, in my mind or in a whisper. Very strange.
Anyway, my first lucid experience was short, but fantastic. I look forward to future lucid dreams and have decided to be more disciplined in my dream recording now as well. I have read through the website over the last couple nights and have decided to register on the forum to see if it helps my education in this area of dreams and to explore others' experience. Thanks for having me and sweet dreams to all!
